An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last sheepherders to trail their flocks up into Montana’s Beartooth Mountains for summer pasture. Without commentary, this astonishingly beautiful yet unsparing film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, climate and landscape, vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed. Directed by Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor.
